When a will is filed with the Court for probate, the petitioner seeking to admit the will must prove the factum of the will. The factum of the will is the elements of a valid will. Without it the will is invalid.
The Elements of Factum of the Will required to prove that the will should be admitted into probate are as follows:
1. Execution and attestation substantially complies with Oklahoma statutes.
2. Testator was competent at the time of signing the will.
3. Testator acted freely and voluntarily and not because of undue influence, fraud, or duress.
